Ukrainian Nuclear Society participates in the General Assembly of the European Nuclear Society

On December 12, 2024, the General Assembly of the European Nuclear Society (ENS) took place. The event was held in a hybrid format – both in-person at the ENS office in Brussels and online.

As a full member of ENS, the Ukrainian Nuclear Society (UkrNS) participated in the event within its designated quota. Representatives of the UkrNS actively engaged in discussions on key agenda items and participated in voting processes.

The Assembly addressed both statutory and non-statutory issues. The main topics included:

• The ENS President’s report, including updates on memoranda and agreements with European and international organizations;
• Financial results for 2024 and the approval of the preliminary budget for 2025;
• Elections of new members to the ENS Board of Directors;
• Activity reports on ENS key projects, such as N4C, COP 29, SMR Industrial Alliance, ENEN2Plus, and conferences and communication initiatives.

A significant decision of the General Assembly was the unanimous extension of the April 2022 ENS Board’s resolution to suspend the membership of all companies and enterprises from Russia and Belarus for an additional year.

This year, Danilo Lavrenov, Executive Secretary of the Ukrainian Nuclear Society, was elected to the ENS Board of Directors. The Board, elected every two years, oversees the Society’s most critical projects. The inclusion of a Ukrainian representative on the Board strengthens international collaboration and enhances the promotion of Ukrainian initiatives and projects in the nuclear sector on a global stage.
